Macron gets a reminder of ‘yellow-vested’ protests back home

AMMONNEWS - Masked protesters wearing yellow vests, have been the symbol of the recent wave of protest against higher fuel prices roiling French cities.

An AFP picture taken yesterday captures the moment when French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron step out of the plane, upon arrival at the Ezeiza airport, in Buenos Aires province.

At the top of the aircraft stair was a yellow-vested crew member, perhaps a reminder of the troubles back home. President Macron is seen smiling and shaking hands with a crew member before leaving the plane.

Macron and the Frist Lady had arrived in the Argentine capital as global leaders gather for a two-day G20 summit beginning on Friday likely to be dominated by simmering international tensions over trade.
